MY STRENGTHS

As noted on Gallup’s home page, the Clifton StrengthsFinder identifies what we naturally do best. It provides customized results that name our unique talents. It shows us how to succeed by turning our talents into strengths. Here are the “power and edge” of my talents, according to the StrengthsFinder:

InputPeople with Input talents bring tools that can facilitate growth and performance. They love to provide relevant and tangible help to others. Their resourcefulness and curiosity lead them to store knowledge that can be culled and shared

WooWoo talents being energy to social situations. They can connect with others and act as catalysts in helping people connect with one another. They have an exceptional ability to draw others out of their shell.

PositivityThere is power in Positivity. People with dominate Positivity talents have an infectious energy and enthusiasm. Simply stated, everyone feels better about life when they are around.

IndividualizationPeople with strong Individualization talents notice and appreciate the unique characteristics of each person and can customize their approach accordingly. Like a casting director, they use their intelligence about people to position them to do what they do best. This creates a type of team synergy that leads to a more enjoyable experience and increased effectiveness.

Adaptability The genius of people with Adaptability talents lies in the way they respond to chaos: They can quickly change and respond to circumstances that would frighten or intimidate others. People with high Adaptability find ways to keep moving forward when the unexpected happens. Their natural ability to be in the moment can help others see the way forward.
